2 Claims. 1

The invention relates to ornaments, including one or more artificial flowers, and used primarily for feminine personal adornment, although not necessarily restricted to this field of use.

The principal object of the invention is to provide such an ornament embodying one or more artificial flowers, a perfumery container, and novel means for attaching the flower or flowers to the container and for conducting perfumery from said container to said flower or flowers.

Another object is to provide a construction which may be expeditiously manufactured and profltably sold at a reasonable price.

Fig. 11a is a diagram hereinafter described.

In the drawings above briefly described, preferences have been illustrated, and while they will berather specifically described, it is to be understood that variations may be made within the scope of the invention as claimed.

In Figs. 1 to 5, I have illustrated my invention embodied in an ornament to be worn on the person. It includes a perfumery container of any desired shape which may be made of metal, plastic or other suitable material, and an attaching means 2| which may be a pin, clasp or the like. As shown, the container 20 is of elongated rectangular shape and has a top 22 formed with an opening 23'. The top plate 22 may be soldered, cemented, pressed in or otherwise secured to the body during the manufacture of the device. I have shown one of the walls of the container provided with a small funnel 524-, soldered or otherwise attaohed thereto for the purpose of charging the container with perfumery.

An artificial flower 25 is disposed at the exterior of one end of the container 20 and is provided with a stem '26 extending through the openings 23. Two wick-forming cords 2? extend through the opening 23 and are provided attheir lower ends with an absorbent body 28 which not only conducts perfumery from the container to the wickforming cords, but constitutes an abutment preventing withdrawal of said cords from the opening 23. The upper ends of the cords 21 are passed through openings 29 formed in the central portion of the artificial flower 25, and are tied together at 32, thereby securely attaching the flower to the container 2d and also forming an ornamental center for said flower.

Obviously, When the container 2% is partly filled with perfumery, the absorbent body 28 and the cords 2'? will. conduct perfumery from said container to the artificial, flower 25, imparting a pleasing aroma to the latter. This flower may well be formed from several layers of textile fabric centrally secured together and cut out to form petals.

Common twisted-strand knitting yarn, formed from wool or other absorbent material, is preferably used for the cords 2.1, and the absorbent body 23 may well be formed from substantially radial loops of the same material, suitably assembled and connected with the lower ends of said cords 2'2. Assemblages of this kind may be now purchased upon the market, intended for ornamentation of apparel, bed clothing, etc.

In Figs. 6, 'land 8, a perfumery container 20a is shown, having. parallel front and rear sides and downwardly converging edge walls, said container being provided with attaching ears 2la. This container has a top plate 22a spaced downwardly from the upper edges of its vertical walls, and said top plate is provided with a filling neck 3! and with another neck 3'2. Two artificial flowers 25a and 25 are disposed over the container 260. and are provided with stems 23a and 26 respectively. The stem Ziia extends through the filling neck 35 and constitutes a closing plug therefor, but by upwardly withdrawing this stem, the neck may be used for partially filling the container 26a with perfumery. The stem 261 extends through the neck 32. Also extending through this neck, are two cords Zia corresponding to the cords 27, the inner ends of said cords being attached to a body 28a corresponding to the body 28. The upper ends of the cords 21a are tied together around the central portion of the artificial flower 25, thereby securing this flower to the container 23a and serving to conduct perfumery from said container to said flower.

In Figs. 9, and 11, a container 202) is shown very similar to the container a, but of somewhat difierent shape. The top plate 22b of this container is formed with an opening 23b and with an upwardly projecting filling neck 321) near said opening, said neck being normally closed by a suitable removable plug 261). An artificial flower b is provided over the container Zilb and has a stem 26c extending through the opening 23b. Also extending through this opening, there are two cords 211) corresponding to the cords 21 above described, the lower ends of said cords being attached to a body 2822 corresponding to the body :28. One or both of the cords 2112 are wrapped partly around the neck 3% and the stem 26c as shown at 33 in Figs. 11 and Ila, and the two cords are then tied together as indicated at 34. Then, the two cords embrace the central portion of the artificial flower 25b and are tied together around the same as indicated at 3% in Figs. 11 and 11a. Thus, the cords firmly attach the artificial flower to the container 202) and serve to conduct perfumery from said container to said flower.

In Figs. 12 and 13, the container 200 is in the form of a miniature flower pot, and the top 22c of this container is formed with a small filling opening 240 and with another opening 23c. The stem 230 of an artificial flower 250 extends through this opening, and two cords 210 also extend through this opening 230. These cords correspond to the cords 2'! and they are attached at their inner ends to a body 280 corresponding to the body 23. The upper ends of the cords 21c embrace the central portion of the'flower '250 and are tied together around said central portion as indicated at 300, thus securely attaching the flower to the container .200 and serving to conduct perfumery thereto from said container. A short piece of yarn or the like 35 is preferably tied around the cords 21c and the stem 260 between the flower 25c and the container top '220,

to hold this flower upright more advantageously than it would otherwise be held.

In Figs. 14 and 15, the container 2012 is in the form of a'vase or the like, the top 22d of which is formed with a depressed central portion '36 having an opening 23d. An artificial flower 25d extends over this depressed 'portion and somewhat into same, and is secured to the container by means of cords 21d attached at their lower ends to a body 28d and knotted at their upper ends at d, said cords 21d and body 28d corresponding to the cords and body Hand 28 above described. At any suitable-location, 'the'container 20d is formed with a filling opening 24d. For injecting perfumery into this filling opening or through the filling opening or neck of any of the other forms of the invention, an ordinary medicine dropper may well be used.

From the foregoing, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be seen that novel and advantageous provision has been made for carrying out the objects of the invention. However, attention is again invited to the possibility of making variations within the scope of the invention as claimed. For example in the form shown in Fig. 8, the flower 25a may be secured in the same manner as the flower 25 by providing the abutment 28a with four cords 27a, two passing through the neck 32, as shown and the other two passing through the neck 3| for ,suitable attachment to the flower 25a.

I claim:

1. An aromatic ornament comprising a periuniery container having a top plate with an opening therein, an absorbent body substantially flllin-gthe interior of said container, a plurality of absorbent cords extending through said opening and having their inner ends secured to said absorbent body to prevent withdrawal of said cords, an artificial'flower exterior of the top plate of said container, the outer portions of said cords being tied to said flower and to each other to secure said flower upon said container, said cords acting as wicks for conducting perfumery from said absorbent body to said flower and the tied portions of said cords forming an ornamental center for the flower.

2. An aromatic ornament comprising a con- 1 I tainer having a top plate carrying an upwardly projecting filling neck andiorrned with an openin'g near the neck, an artificial flower having a stern extending through said opening, an absorbent body substantially filling said container duced into the container through the filling neck,

and at least twoabsorbent cords passing through i said opening. and having inner ends attached to the absorbent body and outer portions projectin from the container, the outer portion "of one cord being wrapped about the neck and the stern and tied to a portion of the second cord between the flower and the top plate, and outer ends of the cords being then carried upwardly about -the central portion of the flower and tied together against the upper surface thereof to secure theflower between the tied portions of the cords 'and also form 'an ornamental center for the flower.
